We are heartbroken to report on the deaths of four Israeli reserve soldiers who were killed in a suspected “operational accident” in souther Lebanon yesterday.
The slain troops are:
🕯️Maj. (res.) Evgeny Zinershain, 43, from Zichron Yaakov.
🕯️Master Sgt. (res.) Binyamin Destaw Negose, 28, from Beit Shemesh.
🕯️Cpt. (res.) Sagi Ya’akov Rubinshtein, 31, from Kibbutz Lavi.
🕯️Sgt. First Class. (res.) Erez Ben Efraim, 25, from Ramat Gan.
They all served with the 226th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade’s 9263rd Battalion. According to an initial IDF probe, the soldiers were scanning a tunnel in the Labbouneh area of southern Lebanon when a cache of Hezbollah weapons and explosives stored there detonated.
